There are a number of issues here, firstly the club needs to keep going financially otherwise even if we had a reserve team that would fold along with the club.
In terms of getting the players in who are good enough, all the top level quality youngsters get cherry picked off by SL clubs, just look around SL now and there are plenty of Fax lads playing, there are at least 3 in the England Knights team today. None of these lads have been near the Fax setup unfortunately and that is why we won’t have the quality of players to compete with the SL reserves.
If we were in a league with Championship reserve teams it might be a different matter.
Hopefully we can revisit the reserve setup in the future.
Sad times , we started the reserves and have basically shot ourselves in the foot. Now as already mentioned we are a feeder team to a rival. This is the same concept as in Australia. So all our best players will basically end up at Huddersfield and we will get first option on what they don't want.
Can remember the day when we beat Huddersfield convincingly how this great club has gone backwards.
I know we are been forced by RFL to adopt these rules but we as a club will get no where under this system.

Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "Sounds like there has been coaching casualties as well because of the abondening of the reserves. That probably should save some money as well.'"
Thought it was reported they were staying...? although keeping 2 coaches for a team that no longer exists when money's tight defied any form of logic.
Last line of statement by BOD in Oct re Reserves
Martin Gonzalez and Steve Greenwood, our valued Reserve Coaches, will both still have major roles within the Club.
